WELL, NOW THAT OUR THRILLING AND ULTIMATELY POINTLESS LOSS, IS BEHIND US CAN WE NOW TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S ESSENTIALLY FAR MORE IMPORTANT?

WHICH NOW I THINK ABOUT IT COULD BE PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING BECAUSE LET'S GET THIS FUC CLEAR. THAT MATCH WAS A TOTAL AND COMPLETE FLUKE. IT IS UP THERE IN THE ANNALS OF HISTORY AS ONE OF THOSE 'WELL THAT WAS UNEXPECTED' MOMENTS. AND YOU CAN ALL BE DAMN SURE ISN'T GOING TO EVER HAPPEN AGAIN, ESPECIALLY AGAINST ARROGANT TOE RAGS IN SLYTHERIN.

SO WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT IS SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING?

Sore losers are the worst.

[candycrabapple]

IT'S ONLY BEING A SORE LOSER WHEN YOU'RE ON THE TEAM. THIS WOULD BE MORE CLASSIFIED AS A DISGRUNTLED FAN WHO FEELS CHEATED THAT THEIR TEAM LOST.

BUT THEN I ALSO REMEMBER SAYING I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT PASSES FOR A HOUSE MATCH. THAT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT THIS WHOLE ENTRY IS ABOUT.

[adust]

"What passes as a housematch".

Sounds pretty sore to me.

[deutschykins]

Good idea, talking about something new would be a relief.

[candycrabapple]

WELL I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR TOPICS.

BECAUSE LETS FACE IT THERE'S PRECIOUS FUCK ALL TO TALK ABOUT, WHICH IS SURPRISING CONSIDERING THIS IS NOT ONLY A CO-ED BOARDING SCHOOL, BUT A MAGICAL CO-ED BOARDING SCHOOL. SO YOU THINK THERE WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE TO TALK ABOUT IN THIS COLD AND CAVERNOUS CASTLE THAN WHO DID OR DIDN'T WIN THE MAJOR TEAM SPORT HERE.

[deutschykins]

I must admit, I'm quite glad to hear that from someone else. That's not to say the match wasn't wonderful and well played on both sides, but I think a change of topic would be nice. By the way, I don't believe we've ever had the pleasure of talking before.

[greaselightning]

someone sounds a little sore.
but anything is better honestly, not much of a sports fan myself.

[candycrabapple]

SOMEONE SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE WRONG.
REALLY? YOU AREN'T A SPORTS FAN? AND HERE I THOUGHT THAT WITH ALL THAT SLICKED BACKED HAIR AND CASUAL APATHY, MADE YOU THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR A SPORTS FAN.

[greaselightning]

fair enough.
hahaha yeah i guess one vwould think that huh? though id like to think of myself as havwing more of an artistic look to myself, seeing as i am an artist. dont really got the time or room in my artistic and sensitivwe lifestyle to vworry about pointless nonsense like quidditch.
so vwhats your excuse?

[brothor]

But it was such an amazing match!

[candycrabapple]

WHILE I'M NOT EXACTLY GOING TO ARGUE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY ALMOST INTERESTING TO WATCH. YOUR EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE WHOLE THING MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT YOUR HEAD, ODINSON. WHAT WITH THE TAKING A HURTLING BALL OF UNSPEAKABLE PAIN TO THE CHEST AND ALL.

THAT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT WOULD PUT ME OFF. BECAUSE GETTING HURT WHEN DOING THINGS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT PUTS ME OFF ENJOYING SOMETHING.

[brothor]

Who even cares about that? Did you see the hit I made? That is far more interesting! Alhough, I do have a most excellent bruise, as you know.

That doesn't sound very brave, Vantas! You are a horrible Gryffindor!

[innocent_insanity]

:o) sounds like a brother's up and gotten his ass nice and proper hurt from being on the losing side.

[candycrabapple]

THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT MY ASS TODAY AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW I SHOULD FEEL ABOUT THAT.

BUT NO, MY ASS ISN'T HURT OVER THIS. I JUST WANT TO HEAR ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE FOR A CHANGE IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A GOD-DAMNED DEAL.

[innocent_insanity]

maybe every fucker's up and thinking that it's a nice ass? do you do squats?

[givesyouaboner]

Things that could be more interesting than people flying around on brooms: 0

But here's something: if mermaids speak mermish and mermaids live under water,
How is there a written form of the language to learn?
What would the consequences be of Orangina drank Orangina? Or if Sprite drank a Sprite?
Is that name-cannibalism or just really unhealthy for animals? We just don't know.

[candycrabapple]

WELL YOU WITH YOUR OH SO PRECIOUS BROTHER ON THE TEAM WOULD FIND THE GAME INFINITELY MORE THRILLING. YEAH WHATEVER GG WE PLAYED A GREAT GAME, WE STILL FUCKING LOST.

ISN'T THIS THE KIND OF SHIT YOU SHOULD BE ASKING THE ELDEST STRIDER SEEING AS HE TEACHES THIS SHIT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT CLASS HALF THE TIME.

[givesyouaboner]

I feel like this would be good moment for you to open your dictionary to the page headed with "sar" and find the concept that was being conveyed in my previous statement.
The outcome of the game was disappointing, but people played well and it was entertaining. I don't see how complaining about it now is going to change anything.

You wanted something interesting to talk about.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

What an excellent idea, Karkat. T99 much c9mpetitive spirit can actually hinder imp9rtant gr9wth and cameraderie am9ng peers. Actually, I've just finished an essay 9n the su6ject, as in light 9f recent renewed rivalries and unf9rtunate 9ccurences I felt that the student 69dy might 6enefit fr9m a new perspective 9n the issue. 9f c9urse, n9 9ne will 6e required t9 read it, f9r the sake 9f th9se wh9 might 6e triggered 6y such a sensitive issue.

9therwise, Karkat, I feel it prudent 9f me t9 remind y9u that s9me pers9ns may 6e triggered 6y the w9rd "t9e rag", whereas there als9 might 6e s9me self-identified "t9e rags" in 9ther h9uses wh9 c9uld feel alienated and invalidated 6y y9ur use in reference t9 9nly 9ne h9use in particular.

[candycrabapple]

[Oh, Uncle Kankri, here have some ink drops]

DO I EVEN WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY PAGES YOU HAVE DEDICATED TO THIS 'ESSAY' OF YOURS? OF COURSE, I'M USING THE TERM ESSAY LOOSELY BECAUSE I'M GETTING THE FEELING THAT YOU'RE UNDERSTATING IT.

WAIT, WHO THE FUCK WOULD EVER WANT TO IDENTIFY AS A TOE RAG? WHAT KIND OF DIPSHIT WOULD PUT THEIR HAND UP AND SAY "OH YES, I WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLOTH USED TO WIPE UP THE GUNK THAT ACCUMULATES BETWEEN PEOPLES TOES"? BECAUSE I REALLY CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A WAY THAT ANYONE WOULD DO THAT WITHOUT BEING SARCASTIC.

[insuffera6les9n9rus]

This 9ne is rather sh9rter than m9st. 9nly seventy pages 9r s9. I started it a few weeks ag9, when I felt it was in my 6est interest t9 make myself scarce f9r the time 6eing and theref9re f9und myself with m9re time than usual. I am afraid that it is quite unfinished at the m9ment, 6ut if y9u are interested I c9uld pr9vide an a6stract 9f the 6asic p9ints 9f the 6rief essay in 9rder t9 get the 6ulk 9f my argument acr9ss.

Karkat, whether 9r n9t we understand s9me9ne's identity d9es n9t make it any less valid. Their ch9ices are theirs al9ne, and it is n9t any9ne's place t9 p9lice their identity 9r invalidate wh9 they 6elieve they are. While I agree it is a slightly m9re extreme example, it nevertheless serves t9 dem9nstrate the imp9rtance 9f minding 9ne's language s9 as n9t t9 9ffend any9ne.

[notthebee2]

lmao kk, you miight want two con2iider takiing that giigantiic 2tiick out of your a22 before even trying two talk about anythiing el2e.

[candycrabapple]

I'LL SHOVE A STICK UP YOUR ASS, CAPTOR. JUST SAY THE WORD AND I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO IT.

I CAN EASILY TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING UP MY ASS, DIPSHIT. SO DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT OR ARE YOU JUST GOING TO DO YOUR USUAL THING OF BEING A MASSIVE COCKSPANK WITH EVER INTENTION OF JUST TRYING TO SHIT ME OFF? BECAUSE IF THAT'S SO YOU'RE OFF TO AN AMAZING START.

[cantfightthisfire]

I dunno, I'd rather talk about how we kicked your ass.

[candycrabapple]

WELL OF COURSE YOU WOULD WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. YOU SLYTHERIN HAVE PRECIOUS FUCK ALL TO TALK ABOUT DO YOU?

NO.

ALL YOU CREEP-CRAWLIES TALK ABOUT IS WHAT UNDERHANDED THINGS YOU DID IN ORDER TO WIN, OH WELL HOORAY HOORAH FOR YOU AND YOUR OH SO FANTASTICAL FLUKE. BECAUSE I CAN GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL NEVER WIN LIKE THAT AGAIN.
